How to Read Samples of an Audio File?

[Testing Test]

Hi,

I am a beginner to android SDK and have almost no idea of using it. But I have to do it in any case.

What I want is to select a .wav or .mp3 file stored on my android 2.2 phone. I want to read the samples of the audio file like 16 bit or 8 bit sample (whichever possible). Then I need to modify it and save the modified file back with some other name.

Please guide me that how can I get started by reading a .wav or .mp3 and reading its samples.

P.S.: I am a beginner. So, don't try to be over smart

Thank you.

I dont think there is any real-time access to audio data samples in the SDK or even the NDK at the moment. You can get the file bytes easy enough, but you need to understand what they represent. This is very, very far from a beginner's topic though. Just understanding how PCM data works is very complex, not to mention how mpeg 3 encoding works.

Anyways, I googled a bit and found libpd seems promising:

Some links:

I'd also suggest you read up on PCM data. Just some possible places to start.
